Welcome back @alex_hook , miss your tracks

Alex allways nice Vibrations.Thanks for your Soul..

To say I am excited to have this returning guest to the show is huge understatement for so many reasons. First, the obvious. I've been a fan of @alex_hook for many years. I think I first heard his productions before I even started  the radio show in 2016 when he was putting beautiful tracks out on the label Spirit Soul Records. I fell in love with his production style and melodies. 

I remember reaching out to him to invite him to be a guest on the radio show and we both starting talking about our love and admiration for that San Francisco sound from the early 2000s on labels like Naked Music, OM, and others. His music style was certainly influenced by that. No wonder I was into his productions. Long story short, we became long distance friends and I introduced him to so of my musical friends so he could  hopefully someday collaborate with (like Jay-J) and the rest is history.

This is Alex's third appearance on the show and it's a special one. Today is also the day he releases his first single on our label called 'You Showed Me' in collaboration with his talented partner in crime, singer and songwriter Rene. The release also includes a remix by our own @cloakdaggernyc. This beautiful track with its beautiful melodies is available as of today in all of your favorite music outlets. You also can not miss it in this episode as it is the first track at the beginning of EP-275 that Alex has done for us.

Next week's program (EP-276) is the recording of my live set when I open and warmed up for @miguelmigs1 on Halloween and I got to play Alex's new song on a big club system. It sounded amazing and some big names took notice of it :)

That's next week, for now enjoy Alex's guest set and don't forget to catch the show every monday on d3ep.com at 4pm PST.

The NDYD Radio Show  EP275 - Guest mix by ALEX HOOK

Ricardo Torres is a West Coast DJ whose sound blends deep, soulful house and disco with the smooth, sun-kissed energy of Los Angeles. His mixes are crafted for true dance floor devotees—uplifting, groovy, and deeply rooted in the underground.

Ricardo began his DJ journey in 1987 at a college radio station in Montreal, later discovering Chicago House and falling in love with its raw emotion and rhythm. After moving to Los Angeles in 1995, he found inspiration in the city’s soulful spirit and from influential DJs like Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, and Miguel Migs.

An early pioneer of online mix sharing in 2000, Ricardo quickly gained international recognition, leading to global performances and radio syndication. In 2016, he partnered with Germany’s Nu Disco Your Disco (NDYD) to launch the NDYD Radio Show, a weekly showcase of modern Nu Disco and soulful house that continues to attract a devoted worldwide audience.

Across decades and evolving trends, Ricardo’s mission remains the same: to share music that uplifts, connects, and celebrates the enduring groove of house. The NDYD Radio Show airs live every Saturday on d3ep.com—1 PM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in Chicago, 4 PM in New York, 9 PM in London, and 6 AM Sunday in Sydney—bringing the West Coast vibe to listeners around the globe.
